C169 ClipiTool Scissors:
"Spyderco’s ClipiTools™ are a special breed of tool that combine a high-performance cutting edge with the added convenience and functionality of other tools—all in a pocket-friendly, clip-carried package that keeps them instantly accessible. ClipiTools feature precision all-stainless-steel construction with superior fit, finish, and attention to detail. They all feature a non-locking primary blade with broad, full-flat-ground profile for superior cutting performance. A forefinger choil (finger groove) at the base of the blade protects against accidental closure during use and ensures a secure, easily controlled grip.
The ClipiTool Scissors features a handy pair of folding scissors. Both the scissors and the tool’s knife blade include Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole™ for easy two-handed opening without fear of breaking a fingernail."
